How do you determine who is responsible for damaged fences
Answers
It's on your deeds, as to which is your fence and which is your neighbours.

It needs to be remembered that (unless there's a relevant covenant in place) nobody is ever responsible for the upkeep of a fence.
If a fence is in poor repair (or damaged by the recent winds) proving that it's your neighbour's property doesn't mean that he/she is obliged to repair it. He could simply leave it in a state of disrepair or remove it completely and say to you "If you want a fence between our properties then put your own up".
